Powdery mildew occurred widely on faba beans (Vicia faba L.) in Manitoba in 1974. Mycelia, and conidia were abundant on both leaf surfaces. The fungus later developed numerous cleistothecia 99–143 μm in diam, with rigid appendages, 128–286 μm in length, dichotomously branched at their apices and ending in recurved tips. Frequently, appendages were contorted and irregularly branched. Cleistothecia contained 5–8 asci. The fungus produced mildew symptoms on Lathyrus ochroleucus Hook., L. odoratus L., L. latifolius L., and Vicia americana Muhl., but failed to infect Lonicera tatarica L., Pisum sativum L., and Syringa vulgaris L. The fungus was identified as Microsphaera penicillata (Wall. ex Fr.) Lév. var. ludens (Salmon) Cooke on the basis of morphological characters and pathogenicity. Lathyrus spp. are new hosts of the fungus. L. ochroleucus and V. americana may be sources of primary inoculum of the fungus in Manitoba. Erysiphe pisi DC. reported to occur on V. faba was not found on any of the specimens.

Faba Beans

Forty-eight Yorkshire pigs were fed, ad libitum, 18% protein diets which contained 0, 7.5, 15 and 30% faba beans (Vicia faba L. cv. Ackerperle), over the growth period from 25 to 90 kg liveweight. An additional 16 pigs were similarly fed diets containing 15% faba beans or 15% field peas (Pisum sativum L. cv. Trapper). In experiment I, replacement of soybean meal (44% protein) by faba beans as the protein supplement resulted in a significant (P < 0.05) linear reduction in growth rate, from 784 g to 727 g/day, and a linear improvement in Carcass Value Index, from 103.5 to 106.5. The latter effect appeared to be a result of a reduction in backfat thickness rather than an increase in areas of lean tissue. Feed to gain ratio of pigs fed the 7.5% faba bean diet (3.30 kg feed/kg gain) was significantly (P < 0.05) better than all other levels examined. In experiment II, significant differences in live performance and in carcass characteristics of pigs fed faba beans or field peas were not detected. Calculation of the replacement value of faba beans, in relation to barley and soybean meal prices, confirmed the conclusions from other studies which suggested that the greatest benefit is obtained when faba beans constitute part but not all of the supplementary protein in diets for growing–finishing pigs.

SUMMARYTwo experiments were conducted to study the influence of heat treatment of Vicia faba beans on the productive performance of laying hens fed diets containing large proportions of the beans. In the first experiment, the effects of extruding and pelleting the beans were studied while in the second experiment the effects of autoclaving at 121 °C for 30 min the cotyledons and hulls of the beans were evaluated. Hyline-W36 layers were used in the first experiment while two strains (Shaver-288 and Dekalb) of birds were used in the second experiment. Each experiment lasted 5 months during which data on egg production, egg weight, feed intake, mortality and body-weight gain of birds were collected. The results obtained indicated that heat treatment (extruding, pelleting and autoclaving) of the beans, cotyledons and hulls had no beneficial effect on the productive performance of laying hens fed on diets containing large proportions of the heated beans, cotyledons and hulls. Egg-size reducing factors appeared to be concentrated in the cotyledons rather than the hulls of the beans.
